A DIPPING BOX.

This box is half filed with the dipping
fluid, which may be used cold, but it is
preferable when about so degs. tempera
ture. Two men turn sheep upon its
back, lift it by its legs and head and sub
merge its body in the fluid, keeping nos
trils and eyes clear, if possible. No harm
results, however, if all goes under. A
third man should stand upon the opposite
side of the box to assist in keeping the
sheep under for a minute or so while
the wool is being soaked to the skin.
The animal is then drawn upon the drain
ing table, and the wool pressed by the
hand to force out as much fluid as can
readily be done. The sheep is then lifted
to the ground or floor. In the meantime
one of the two men first named has
another sheep ready for its turn. 1t
takes about three minutes to each ami
NAL. Where the flock is large the box
should be twelve or fifteen feet long, and
high enough, so that the sheep are made
to swim its length. They can thus be
passed through very rapidly, being re-
tained upon the draining table as long as
may be necessary.
The commercial dips are usually trust
worthy but where these cannot be OBJ
tained good preparation is made by mix
ing one part crude carbolic acid with $50
parts Of water. 1t may be further weak
ened for lambs.
The time to dip sheep is whenever they
are troubled with ticks, lice, maggots (for
which the dip must be strong or the scab.

whitewashinK Trees.

Prof. Riley, the wen-known entomolo-
gist, does not approve Of whitewashing
trees He says: "In reality only one Of
the four troublesome insects that infest
shade trees can in any way be affected by
the wash and that is the tussock moth
So far as the whitewashing reaches GER
tain number OF the cocoons will be loos-
ened and exposed to the rains or rubbed
off by the washing, and it may be possi-
BILE that the lime will affect them, though
there is no evidence that such is the case
But it is of no earthly use against the bag
worm or the elm leaf beetle or the web
worm"
AS to tree boxes Prof Riley says:
"While these may be necessary on ac-
count Of the injury that without them
horses and other animals, as we'll as mis-
chievous boys, would inflict upon the
trees, at least until these have attained a
certain size, they are always harmful
They inJure the trees by chatting and by
the pressure Of the bandages, and when Of

Weaning pigs is a subject Of discussion
among professional pork growers. The
farmer who has litters to wean must re-
member that his high profit lies in his
ability to so run these little pork making
machines as to keep their digestion in per
feet order, and to daily increase the
capacity of the stomach FOR digestion and
assimilating the largest possible amount
of food.
The stomach will keep in better condition
If the times of feeding be not too far apart
and the quantity given only sufficient to
satisfy hunger, yet not to surfeit. Here is
fine point in getting best growth and
keeping the pigs in highest condition of
health. They should be fed at least three
times day until five or six months old,
and ii from two to four months the same
amount Of feed for the day be divided into
five meals there will be less danger of over
feeding or deranging the digestion.
The pig is omnivorous, and its highest
and most rapid development, says Ameri,
can Cultivator, from which the above is
quoted, calls for generous variety of
feed. During the period of growth there
should be smaller per cent. of carbonate
or fat formers supplied, while the per
cent Of phosphates and nitrogenous com
pounds should be increased. Corn CON
tains six Of the carbonates to one of the
phosphates. Since the object of feed
ing pigs between the ages of two and
seven months is to develop growth of
frame and powers of assimilation, it is
evident that bone and tissue cannot be
made out of fattening food. Something
cannot be made out of nothing, but good
pig can come as near to making it as any
animal created.
Then ii our object is not to make fat
but bone and muscle, we must feed for
these. Where pigs have access to grass
and artichokes or potatoes, or acorns and
beech huts, and the endless variety they
find under and above ground, they may
do well where they have, in addition to
these enough corn to keep them in medium
flesh, and to save them from overwork in
hunting q living.
Indian corn is especially rich in fat
formers. Oats, on the other hand, are
especially rich in phosphates or bone and
muscle formers. Glover and grass so
happily combine the two that when stock
and hogs have run to clover and grass
they make a good growth of bone and
muscle, and a development of stomach
which enables them to assimilate a greater
amount of corn when the time comes to
fatten them.
Ii by the starving process only enough
corn is given to keep the pig alive and
squealing vigorously, he may have lung
development, but how about the stomach,
which is the seat of honor and profit in the
pig9 The powers of the stomach are not
developed by feeding concentrated food in
small quantities. If there is but little
corn to be fed, it will pay tohave it ground
and fed even on clover hay, enough to
secure the bulk needed to enlarge the
stomach. When the starved pig arrives
at the time he is to be fed all he will eat,
he will not have the capacity and power
of stomach to eat and digest his bushel of
corn in five days, and convert the same
into fifteen pounds Of pork. Good pigs
have done this and 20 per cent. more dur
ing the fattening season.

Dipping Box for Sheep.
The accompanying illustration SHOWS a
dipping box and has been satisfactorily
used in dipping sheep. Country Gentle
man tells how to make it: 1t is composed
of two inch pine plank, and is held to-
gether by bolts across the ends, outside
the box. The joints are put together with
white lead. One end of the box is in
clined, so that the sheep may be readily
drawn upon the draining table, which has
Stats upon the top, so as to permit the
fluid that drains from the wool to run
back into the tub. This table is fastened
to the box by hooks at each side. One
end rests upon the box, and the other is
supported by legs.
